I have been lax in updating this site so here are some things that have happened:
The house plans have been through drafting and engineering and have been submitted to the County for approval. They said it would be 4 weeks which would have them ready on Jan 23.
I've been working with the drafter and engineer to replace the current post/beam system with large exposed PSL timber trusses. This will cost a bit more but should look awesome.
We got our septic and grading permits and the septic tank is in the ground but still needs leech lines and plumbing.
The building site is cleared and rough graded. The 1100' driveway is in but will get some fixup and more "rock" when the building is done.
The well is in, the 2600 gallon water tank is in and plumbed and working, we need to have the water tested because when I went to drain the tank in preparation for the coming winter, it was stinky.
We have a 20ft shipping container on a level gravel pad for storage.
We recently acquired a Home Comfort wood burning cookstove as a backup to our gas stove as well as being a Victorian accent to the kitchen.
More to come, I'll be move vigilant about posting updates.
